Surprises
“Keepyoureyesclosed,my beauty. No peeking.” Jonah squeezes my hips with his fingers, nudging me forward. A blindfold rests over my eyes, and I look downward, staring at my glittering heels in the soft lighting. I can’t see anything though, unless I tilt my head back, but he stands so close that I bump his chest when I try.
“This is too much. I thought we were going to just have something private at the manor.” I stretch my arms out, my legs quivering with each step.
“You’ve been cooped up for days. It’s your birthday, and there’s no way we weren’t going to celebrate in a manner you deserve. Stop worrying. You’re going to love it.” Jonah’s warm breath tickles the nape of my neck, and I spin in his arms. I tip my head back and peeked at him through the sliver of view I get where the ribbon drapes over my nose.
He scrunches his face, narrowing his eyes, and I stretch up and plant my mouth to his, kissing him softly. He groans deep in his throat, sliding his hand down my spine and to my lower back, pulling me closer.
I stand flush against him, feeling his body awaken. Lust consumes me, my body tingling and begging for more. A whimper escapes my mouth, and I trail my fingers down the front of his dress shirt and to his pants, cupping him. “Not as much as I love you. You know what I want for my birthday?”
Jonah glides his hand lower and squeezes my ass. “The semester is almost over. You make it so hard to wait, but we have to, Scarlett. With everything going on, I don’t want to risk something else being held over our heads.”
I pout out my bottom lip at his rejection, trying not to let it get to me. The more time that passes, the antsier I get. I’ve already bonded with his pack mates, and now all I can think about is what it would be like to be with him. He teases me and showers me with affection, but he never goes overboard and always stops himself before either of us gets carried away.
And now it’s driving me wild.
Snagging my lip between his teeth, he nips me softly and stretches it as he eases away. “You’re really testing my restraint now. We better hurry. Our pack is waiting.”
I sigh and pull off the ribbon, meeting his gaze. “Just one more kiss?”
“I’ll make it two.” Jonah kisses me again, lacing his fingers into my hair as he glides his tongue across mine, deepening our passion as he explores my mouth. Heat builds between my legs, setting me off, and I jump up on him, wrapping him in a full-body hug.
He moans and strolls forward, blindly walking as I refuse to stop kissing him, skewing his glasses. He gives into my affection, his body and heart against mine and his lust permeating the air.
“Just fuck her already. Denying her only makes it worse.” Leo’s salty, lime scent engulfs me a moment before his arms do. He presses his face to my neck, breathing in my hair. “Better yet, hand her over. I’ll bang her on your behalf. You deserve to smell our sex for the rest of the night for this.”
“We’ll take her together and show him what he’s missing. He’ll learn from his mistake.” Adrian laces his fingers to the back of my neck, guiding me to kiss him next.
I shiver, the memory of their moment with me sending pleasure straight to my clit as if they had already touched me.
“Don’t worry, Lettie. Once you go into heat, he won’t be able to resist. He’ll be all yours. He won’t even remember why he denied you.” Dominic comes to my other side. “He’ll kick himself for years to come.”
“Give him a break. He’s doing us a favor, giving us more of Scarlett’s attention to devour. Isn’t that right, amore?” Ezra completes the circle around me, kissing me from Jonah’s arms.
“Maybe he’ll just give me a show.” I smile at Adrian. “You know how much I like that.”
Adrian roars a laugh and whacks Jonah on the back, grinning at us. “Indeed, I do...mistress,” he whispers, his voice tickling my ear. “Careful what you start. We’ve arranged this birthday celebration, and I want you to enjoy at least dinner and cake.”
“Only if you feed it to me,” I say, finally looking around.
“Fuck yeah, we will. I’ll even let you use me as a plate.” Leo play-growls and kisses my cheek. “Let me be your present.”
“One of many,” Adrian adds, taking me from Jonah to set me on my feet. “Because this is your day, and you’ll get whatever your heart desires.”
“Except that asshole,” Leo mutters, flicking Jonah on the pec. Dodging out of the way of retaliation, Leo fills the empty space by my side and drapes his arm over my shoulders. Leaning in, he whispers, “But don’t worry. I’ll give you another gift later. One of seduction. He will cave.”
I grin with a laugh, my heart bursting with the happiness wafting around us. “You think?”
“I know.” Leo pulls me from the others.
The brilliant sunset sparkles across the ocean, the puffy pink and purple clouds painting the sky with breathtaking color. Twinkling lights wrap around the tall palm trees of this cliff top restaurant, and I bounce on my feet, smiling at the glowing sign of the Mermaid Lounge.
“We have a balcony view,” Ezra says, adjusting his tie. The swanky restaurant hums with music from a live pianist.
“Happy birthday, Lettie.” Dominic kisses my temple, squeezing his head between Leo and me as he walks behind us.
The stained-glass door swings open as the maître d’ greets us, offering my pack a bow in respect. Adrian and Leo both take one of my hands, walking with me between them, not hiding the fact that we’re together. It helps that we’re outside of Pack Clearwater Territory and away from campus. They wanted this night to truly be ours without having to worry about drawing attention.
